About us
Our expertise lies in working with microcement, a versatile and elegant material that allows us to craft timeless sculptural furniture pieces to elevate any space.
The Dialogue Between Texture and Form
Texture plays a quiet yet powerful role in shaping furniture pieces. Smooth, seamless textures create flow; rougher ones bring character and grounding. In our furniture collection and the bespoke pieces developed with Modern Shapes Studio, form and texture are inseparable. Sculpted edges, softened volumes and microcement surfaces work together to create pieces that feel both modern and timeless. A perfectly executed texture amplifies the shape never overpowering it.
Sustainability Through Material Awareness
Designing with intent also means choosing materials that endure, both aesthetically and structurally. Microcement’s longevity and low-waste application contribute to more sustainable interiors. Similarly, handcrafted furniture pieces built from natural materials age gracefully, gaining beauty rather than losing it.
Thoughtful material selection reduces replacements and encourages long-term relationships with the objects we live with.
Material Intent Creates Identity
A well-designed space has a voice. Its materials speak a language of clarity and purpose. Whether it is a calm mineral wall, a sculptural side table, or a seamless microcement floor, every choice contributes to the narrative. Designing with material intent transforms spaces from simply “beautiful” to deeply meaningful. It creates consistency, character, and a sense of place. In the end, material intent is not just a design philosophy. It is the foundation of how we shape experiences. One surface, one form, one atmosphere at a time.
ABOUT US
Materia Matters is where material innovation meets sculptural design and where texture becomes emotion.
At the heart of our work lies microcement: a versatile, refined material that allows us to craft an exclusive collection of interior pieces, from tables and wall panels to lighting and accessories. More than a surface, it is the foundation of our design language.
Each piece is shaped by hand in our ateliers in the Netherlands and Spain, where craftsmanship meets technical precision. Subtle variations, natural textures and carefully considered proportions ensure that no two pieces are ever exactly the same. Our designs are available in multiple sizes and finishes and can be fully customized for both residential and commercial spaces.
What truly sets Materia Matters apart is our signature exotic microcement a refined blend enriched with natural and recycled elements such as wood shavings, seashells, sand and brass. These additions create depth, nuance and distinctive tactile surfaces, giving every piece its own quiet character.
The result is a collection defined by bold simplicity and architectural clarity. Pieces that feel monolithic yet soft. Solid, yet warm. Designed not to dominate a space, but to elevate it.
